My aunt & I enjoyed the whole tour!! Even though we didn't get to taste one of the places due to it being overly busy it a was college graduation weekend! The whole tour was amazing, Akila had great energy, & personality. She kept us all engaged the whole time & made it fun & understanding with all the history involved. It was more than just going to a restaurant tasting food you also learned history of people & the art in Atlanta. I would totally do it again!!!

Atlanta may not seem like a city with its own signature dish, but it has been influenced by styles all over the world. Akila starts her tour in Castleberry Hill with the early life of Martin Luther King Jr's family and a restaurant significant to the Civil Rights Movement. From there, it goes through downtown to Sweet Auburn. The food portions are great and Akila weaves in the city's history with the neighborhoods and restaurants visited. I highly recommend for both locals and visitors!

On a beautiful Saturday my friend and I went on the Atlanta Food Walk, what a treat! The food was great but what made it special was the commentary by Akila. She made history come alive with tid-bits and stories as we meandered through historic Atlanta neighborhoods. I have been in Atlanta 35 years but was exposed to areas and information that were new to me and very interesting. While we ate a lot, it did not feel guilty after the well paced walk. I strongly recommend this tour and plan to do it again really soon!
